Introduction
Copper UNS C71700 is a wrought alloy belonging to the copper-nickel (Cu-Ni) category. Cu-Ni alloys have a single-phase structure, and the variations in properties occur due to the additions of other elements such as manganese, zinc, and iron. These alloys are known for their strong corrosion resistance in seawater environments.
The following datasheet discusses the chemical composition and properties of copper UNS C71700.
